How Moles, Warts and Skin Tags May Be Affecting Your Self-Esteem

This guide is for anyone who wants to learn about “self-esteem” and how it affects your life but ultimately how you can improve it. If you feel that you are suffering from low self-esteem and think it’s affecting you and your overall mental health, this guide will help rebuild your self-esteem and self-worth.

What is Self-esteem – Why It’s Essential to Nurture

One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. ” – Michael J. Fox

If you look up the definition of “Esteem”, you will see descriptions such as “respect and admiration” or “favorable opinion or judgment”. You may identify these positive feelings about a favorite sports team or close friends and family members. Perhaps, for other people, you don’t even know who seem to appear confident and charismatic such as comedians and other public figures.

When we look inwardly at ourselves, we use the phrase “Self-Esteem” to broadly recognize our own beliefs of the positive and negative feelings you have about yourself. These influence how you judge your over-all self-worth. We place a value or a measure of self-worth to all aspects of our lives. We are always judging and assigning values to our emotional feelings. But this is where our perception of ourselves can become distorted, and we find it difficult to discern when we have problems with our self-esteem. We may know something is wrong but we maybe not be able to pinpoint the reason.

Michael J Fox’s quote above is a reminder that there are moments in our lives where negative judgments make us feel glum and unenthusiastic about our lives. Even from a young age and even until adulthood, letting any form of hostile criticism impact our feelings and self-beliefs, do we unwillingly surrender our power, our esteem.

Someone’s self-esteem is defined by an accumulation of different experiences over time. These can either be positive or negative and can have a profound effect on someone’s motivation and outlook on life. However, self-esteem varies from person to person, and it may only affect some specific areas of your life. For example, someone may have high self-esteem about their ability to do a job well but have low self-esteem about their physical appearance or attractiveness.

From childhood, children learn to classify and categorize things such as age, gender, size. They learn to form very concrete ideas about themselves such as eye and skin color, height and favorite things. Later on, they begin to introduce references to internal psychological traits and other comparative evaluations of how they see themselves.

To better understand self-esteem, some essential distinctions help define areas that we should be aware.

Self-concept

Self-efficacy

What Is The Definition of Self-Concept?

It is a reflection of constructed beliefs you hold about yourself. It is a mostly a factual representation of how you perceive yourself. Some of your insights are not necessarily accurate, but what you say about yourself is accurate.

Someone with low self-esteem will commonly think and write negatively about their self-concept description. Nevertheless, describing something we are not good at will on occasion be a standard trait for everybody. For example, recognizing you may not be very good at singing or dancing is purely a statement of fact and not whether it is good or bad feeling. Nearly everyone is comfortable to indicate a few things at what they are bad at and not feel this as a limitation either way. A characteristic of someone with healthy self-esteem and self-efficacy are realistic about knowing their abilities as well as their boundaries.

What Is The Definition of Self-Efficacy?

Self-efficacy is a person’s belief in their abilities to accomplish specific tasks or goals. It exhibits how well someone can perform a course of actions that will eventually lead to the desired outcome. An individuals competence level plays a meaningful part, and this will vary from situation to situation. For example, a person can be an accomplished athlete but maybe not feel comfortable in social engagement or speaking to a group of people.

Some broader examples may include the belief that you have control directing and be the master of your own life. Do you feel competent that you can create a well-fulfilled life, taking care of yourself and be able to handle any obstacle that gets in your way? Or do you feel like a victim and you fell the world is against you?

Standup And Face The World Head On

Regrettably, today’s culture is entirely materialistic, and it feeds us an inflated value of our appearance. Many commercials on television, internet, magazines and other forms of media give us a belief that we have to be meticulous in how we look to accomplish in life. Decent and upstanding values are slowly being shown the back door.

This is still somewhat true. Businesses are trying to build glaring needs in all of us so that they can sell us their products. Your intelligence and social capacity, your ability to construct shared relationships with other and being capable of attaining the needed skills for a successful career is much more important. This is will build your self-esteem.

But it is also valid that your self-confidence will help you to establish all of this and much more because your confidence is also intrinsically linked to your appearance. If you don’t bother washing or brushing your hair, for example, you will not feel that positive energy, compared to someone who keeps themselves clean and tidy. Therefore, it is important to consider your image because it affects how other people view and interact with you.

Nonetheless, you have to command yourself and learn that being attractive is a bonus and recognize that many other things can help you to build your confidence and help make your life a success.
